  1. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for her intervention. I agree with her that brains develop in different ways. I have some sympathy for other arguments that I have heard on the issue that look at Gillick competency. The other thing about what we are talking about is that it is so arbitrary. I accept that children develop at…

  2. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for her intervention and am happy to address it. She said that young people may or may not fully understand the implications of their actions. I was not going to make this point, but I will now. The Member's comment takes me back to the fact that amendments with exceptions were tabled. When I think…

  3. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will take an intervention from the Member on the opposite Benches in a moment. I would like to answer the Member for North Antrim first. I absolutely accept that. The Member very kindly took an intervention from me last night, or certainly there was some chat about this in the Chamber. I completely accept that not…

  4. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I will speak on amendment Nos 79 and 82. There has been much talk about some of the backgrounds that we have been considering. For declaration purposes, I was a youth worker, like the Member for North Antrim, for about 20 years. I have also written a detailed report on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and I am…

  5. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. The Member opposite described the UNCRC and some of the amendments being debated as progressive. The Member may be aware of the recent case in Hampshire where two girls aged 14 and 15 were raped in separate incidents by two 14-year-old boys and another boy who was 13. They videoed…

  6. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way. He was talking about amendment Nos 79 and 82 and the disparity. I have listened carefully to the arguments that others have made in the Chamber, while, clearly, not agreeing with them. The proposed new clause lists the offences of murder, manslaughter, rape and assault by…

  7. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member again for giving way and the Minister of Justice for clarifying that. I am happy to accept the Member's characterisation of non-homogeneous victim groups. I agree with her, and we have seen that in Northern Ireland throughout the Troubles — not dealing with MACR but in other circumstances — where…

  8. Debate contribution: Justice Bill: Consideration Stage

    • Executive Committee Business

    I thank the Member for giving way, and I apologise to her for being a bit late to the Chamber and missing the start of her speech. I agree with her. She mentioned trauma-informed care, therapeutic support and family interventions. Those are all incredibly effective ways of dealing with some children who may end up in…

  9. Written question AQW 48617/22-27

    • Department of Health

    To ask the Minister of Health whether any assessment has been made of the comparative cost and outcomes of Health and Social Care Trust-delivered mental health interventions against equivalent services provided by the voluntary and community sector, including (i) preventative and recovery-focused service; and (ii) how…
